The room was too chilly and she snuggled
closer to the warmth of the large body lying next to her. With a contented
sigh, she decided to give in to urge to go back to sleep. Until a thick arm
curved around her and drew her closer into its embrace. Her eyes flew open and
she found herself staring into a pair of blue eyes that rivaled the turquoise
of the Caribbean Sea. With a shriek, she thrust away from him, moving so fast she
tumbled off the end of the bed, hitting the floor with a resounding thud.
The brute sharing the bed with her offered
up a lazy smile, then sat up, idly scratching his broad chest. “Good morrow,
lass. Did you sleep well?”

What is it about being called "lass" that is so appealing? It makes me all gooey inside. Can't wait to see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteLOL. She fell off the bed. I guess she forgot she wasn't alone.
